Smith didn&rsquo;t mince his words and asked Edwards if he is the &ldquo;superstar&rdquo; he claims to be or not.<\/p><p>Speaking on First Take, Smith said, <em>&ldquo;Are you the superstar player you claim to be or not? You find yourself in that precarious of circumstances if you lose this game&hellip;one would think you would embrace the level of aggression in order to do all that you can do so that your team does not lose.&rdquo; <\/em>Notably, during the fourth game of the series, Ant Man dropped only 16 points, four rebounds, and six assists for the Timberwolves, which became a crucial reason for their loss, pushing them to 1-3 in the series.<\/p><p>Smith also drew comparison between the performances of Edwards and the 2025 MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who dropped another remarkable performance. SGA came up with 40 points, nine rebounds, and 10 assists, guiding his team to another significant win in the series. Edwards, on the flip side, not only came up with a sub-par performance but also said that he <em>&ldquo;made the right play all night.&rdquo;&nbsp;<\/em><\/p><p>The NBA analyst responded to those comments and said, <em>&ldquo;Shai went out on your home court and posted 40. And your response is, &lsquo;Well, I didn&rsquo;t struggle, I made the right play.&rsquo; That&rsquo;s inexcusable.&rdquo;<\/em><\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\"Are you the superstar player you proclaim to be or not?\"<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/stephenasmith?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>@stephenasmith<\/a> said Anthony Edwards' reaction to his Game 4 performance was \"inexcusable.\" <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/MBwguzivrG\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/MBwguzivrG<\/a><\/p>&mdash; First Take (@FirstTake) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FirstTake\/status\/1927371819339649173?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>May 27, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Anthony Edwards&rsquo; Stats in Western Conference Finals Series Against OKC Thunder<\/h2><p>In the ongoing series between the OKC Thunder and the Minnesota Timberwolves, Ant Man dropped his lowest performance as his side registered a narrow 128-126 loss to their top-seeded rivals.
